Igloofest is done and gone for another year. Boohoofest is now upon us, as we have to wait a whole year to take part in the next edition of the winter electro-extravaganza. Sure, there's always Piknic Électronik to look forward to this summer, but that's seems miles away too. Luckily, we had our intrepid special contributor/photographer Shannon Heather down in the Old Port for the third weekend in a row. Through these images, we bid a final farewell to Igloofest 2011. Thanks for tons of frozen fun. See you next year.

Serious partiers everywhere, unite!

Just getting started; the throngs of packed winter warriors quickly tightened up all the way to the back

Remarkably indicative of the vision abilities of your average igloofest attendee. "Dude! I can see through your hands!"

The decision point: "Am I excited? Or scared?"

Onstage glimpse

Air so cold you can see your breath just adds a rustic feel to a very modern festival

A dancing friend's shoulders makes for a great vantage point, however unstable

"I found it! And there's still some in it! YESSS"

Those gurus aren't for lasting energy into the wee hours; Igloofest shuts down at midnight. No, those gurus are for calling on the dance demons

Trashcan beats are always available for those who couldn't get a ticket or just want to cause a ruckus
